Shaquita Starks, Ph.D., APRN, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC
Nice to meet you!
I have 25 years of experience as a nurse, 15 years of which have involved practice as a Nurse Practitioner. I am a dually certified nurse practitioner in family practice and psychiatric mental health and trained as a minister of spiritual consciousness. I have teaching experience as an Assistant Professor and have worked in community mental health, crisis stabilization, and outpatient and inpatient settings. I hold a Ph.D. in Nursing Science and have several publications on mental health, and quality of life. I stay current with changes in the field and practice using a holistic, but evidence-based approach teaching my clients about the importance of caring for their social, emotional, biological, and spiritual needs.
About my style
Clients are treated based on a holistic approach by integrating spirituality, traditional, lifestyle, and evidence-based medicine and technology. I treat the whole person, paying close attention to the client’s social, emotional, biological, and spiritual needs and I also provide clients with information and options to assist them in making informed decisions about their mental health care. I also coach and push my clients to empower themselves and grow. Change is not easy but you can do it with someone along your side to help you manage false negative beliefs and any other barrier in your life keeping you from standing in your power.
What can you expect from being my client
A deeper understanding of the source of their behaviors and feelings.
Improved self-confidence and self-worth.
A gained sense of control and emotional regulation.
Mind-body strategies to manage symptoms.
Lifestyle changes that lead to an overall sense of well-being and an integration of mind, body, spirit.
